Puppies in the bed

We let our puppies sleep in bed with us as soon as they are big enough. They only thing you have to worry about besides rolling over on top of them is if they go to the bathroom in the bed if they aren't housebroken. It never bothered us but I guess it would depend on your personal preference.

Interesting question! Tricky one too! I have a Springer Spaniel, and he always slept in the kitchen. When we first got him, my dad used to sleep on the sofa with him, just until he had settled in. We've had him for 9 years now, and he's recently started sleeping on my parent's bed. I don't see anything wrong with it in a hygenic sense - a lot of people see it as dirty for a dog to sleep on the bed, but I think as long as the dog is clean it's fine. As far as your husband rolling over them, I'm sure they would voice their opinion if they were in pain - which would be bad for your sleep patterns, being woken up all the time. My dog is always getting on and off the bed, which disturbs my parents, so i think it's bad in that sense. I think the only problem you may have is whether or not you are planning on giving away this puppy too. If he gets too settled in by sleeping with you in your bed, and gets too attached to you, then he may find it difficult to get used to his new home, and also you may get too attached to him too! When he gets to his new home, he may not have the same privileges, so living a life of luxury now may confuse him when he gets taken to a new place, where he'd have a less cozy sleeping arrangement, so if he is going, I think you have to 'be cruel to be kind'... but if you're keeping him, as long as both you and your husband don't mind sharing your bed with a little one, I don't see any problem with it :o)
